    I'm not sure what you mean by 'get busted.' GAP used to pay on the 26th of the month for the previous month. They sometimes had a wobble with dates, but always got there in the end.

    More recently it has been a bit later, 5th of May last month.

    That's a bit longer than I would prefer- over two months outlay is a long time, but people have the option to choose whether to work for them or not. On the plus side it is free food, a modest payment and a very straightforward report if you are passing anyway.

    Does anyone else get so frustrated with Market Force when you finally complete a report, click on 'Finish', only for their system to delete entire comment boxes?

    "Oops, you've missed a few questions!"

    Haha, no I bloody didn't - you deleted them!

    It happens all too often for me and it is generally always the longest comment that I've written which gets magically deleted. I've been a little cautious as of late, by copying the largest comment into my clipboard just in case, but it really shouldn't happen in the first place. It's so bloody annoying.

    Market Force, if you're reading this, sort it out!

    It has happened to me a few times. Very frustrating because as you say- it is always the comment box which has caused the most work which disappears.

    When I'm form-filling, I always copy anything I don't fancy typing again into a text box. Save the file afterwards, and it can make similar visits a bit quicker to type up as well.
    Yes it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
    Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?

    Yes, definitely happened to me before and I often copy the banal summary into a word document.

    Oops you've missed a few questions gives me the rage. Oh no I haven't.

    An email was sent out to some peeps a couple of months go, to advise they were closing down their MS operations. I believe the only client they had left was an auto client. Their stamp shop jobs seem to have gone to MSL as well as the careers call.
